The
owl said – Stop this hullabaloo. Why are you quarrelling? We are all special in
our own ways. Our claws, beaks, feathers and sounds are different yet we are
all birds. If we all looked alike, ate the same food and made the same sounds,
think how dull the world would be.

Bird’s
beaks are very important. They help the
bird collect the food and sometimes they
rip, tear, or crush food. They can act as an extra hand, such as when parrots
use their beak for climbing. They are
used for building nests, and in some birds like tailor bird use their beak for tie knots.

Thin
and Pointed Beak

An
acute beak is one that tapers to a fine point at the end. This type of beak is
delicate, and can be found in many insect eating birds such as warblers.

Sharp
and Curved Beak

Carnivorous
birds like the hawk have curved beaks with a razor-sharp tip that helps them
tear their prey into smaller parts, so as to make it easy to swallow.

Decurved
beaks

A
decurved bill is one that curves downward.
The creepers are one type of bird that have this type of beak. The curve
helps them pulls insects out of the bark of trees.

Flat
beak

Ducks
have being aquatic birds, ducks have flat beaks that help strain the water from the
sides when they consume food which includes aquatic plants and animals.

Long
beaks

A
long beak is much longer than the head. This type of beak helps the bird grab
food that might otherwise be out of reach. Woodcocks, for example, use their
long beak to probe for worms in mud. Toucans use their long beak to pick fruit
in trees. Herons use their long beak to catch fish.

Sharp
and long beak

The
shape of the beak is cylindrical in shape, it looks like a circle as you look
straight at it. This type of beak is
found in the hummingbird family.

Just
as birds have different types of beaks, they also eat different types of food.
While some eat fruits, some eat seeds. Some eat eggs, while others eat fish.

Have
you ever noticed that birds fly and walk in different ways. Their neck
movements also differ. The mynah moves her neck back and forth with a jerk. The
owl can rotate its neck backwards to a large extent.

There are some birds which
can imitate our voice. The feathers of birds are of different colours, shapes
and sizes. Their feathers help them to fly and keep them warm too.
